OMG I love the idea of croquembouche!
I came very close to buying a central cone to make it for the Staff Room when I was at school. One of the few times I actually reined myself in...

Congratulations, you're doing marvellously.

PS I should have known that boy wasn't yours.
Not handsome enough.

Have you ever made GF baked goods before? Or are you working from a tested recipe? I only ask because the ingredients have their own properties, it's surprisingly different from working with regular flour...

I have done some gf baking before. This time i need to be very strict though, so sourcing gf chocolate as well. With the mudcake, gf is not too much of an issue because its meant to be dense anyway. The profiteroles might be trickier, but i think there will be a way.

I guess that's a danger of the business. Congrats on the success though.

Pauvre petite was misquoted.

But it's true her whole protected upbringing could never give her an understanding of what it was like to live and starve on the streets. Unlike the elected representatives of today of course.
